alt Hacker Newsinteresting bit of information: most EV mower companies now do not provide replacement parts - if a mower dies within warranty, a 'certified' warranty repair shop does basic troubleshooting, and if it's beyond a piece of cheap plastic, the mfr just ships a new mower to the 'repair shop'. Once out of warranty, you're on your own.

These are the kinds of products I now just straight up refuse to buy.

Thank you for reminding us that electric mowers are garbage.

I think that’s “most mass produced item manufacturers”. It’s just cheaper to ship a new one than waste time trying to troubleshoot.
My electric mower has lasted longer than the gasoline mower before it, which literally had plastic valves inside the carbeurtator.
